Give Courteous Attention
When Telephoning
Concentration and courteous
attention given to a telephone con¬
versation is a mark of respect that
will be appreciated.
Frequent interruptions and re¬
quests to repeat mar the pleasure of
the talk. Concentrate on what is be¬
ing said and talk with a smile.
Courtesy is like oil to machinery—
the lack of it will cause friction and
friction in telephone talking is a thing
to be avoided.

The Word Squaw.
The word sqmr.v, the term for nn
woman, j.- ■ id to have been
from the ' or nge of a band of
in New Umr'and known as the
NVrrage.nsets, imti is probably an ab¬
breviation of the v ri d eskwaw. Tears

Unit d States, and carue to be used

reservations, who have taken It from
the w hites. A “squaw man” is an Indian
who does woman’s work; also a white
man married to an Indian woman and

the partridge berry; squaw flower, the
plant known as trlllium
squaw mint, the American pennyroyal;
squaw winter, used in parts of the
Canadian Northwest to designate a
mild beginning of winter.
Cockneys Adaptable,
The adaptability of the Loudon girl
to farm work is equaled by the adapta¬
bility of London youth (particularly
the real Cockney type) to almost any
work and auy circumstances.
I have known a Cockney, entirely
ignorant of machinery, to learn all
about a thrashing machine inside a
week, and to be in sole control of It
on the eighth day.
And it is well known that some of
our smartest cavalrymen are Cock
aeys. Young fellows who were nevet
on a horse before become expert riders
In an incredibly short time. Whatever
else the Cockney nmy or may not he

In the uptake and useful with his
hands.—London Chronicle.

CALLED FOR QUICK THINKING
Skipper of Burning Ship, With Cargo *
of High Explosives, in No Posi.
tion to Hesitate.
Th»f Cephalonia was deeply loaded
with shells, and her rhtli-ronnis Wf ,, t
filled with T. N. T. for the Italian
army, writes R. K. Cropley in the At¬
lantic. She was well in the midst
of the convoy proceeding down the
Thames, and had just passed beyond
the submarine net, when a thin pencil
Of smoke of of was No. No. 1 1 seen hatch. hatch. to rise from thj
corner corner It happened
to catch the third officer’s eye first
Sammy’s attention to it
j n two shakes Sammy had sounded
j f our blasts on the siren, and a flag
fluttered from the yard-arm, which
caused all other ships to give him a
wide berth, as the propeller of the
Cephalonia churned up the sea In her
frantic effort to back and turn as if
to return to London. A ship on fire
should return to port, but Sammy, with
a cargo of T. N, T. wasn’t the kind of
a skipper to risk blowing cottages arid
kiddies luto the next world in an ef¬
fort to save his own skin. No; he
turned the Cephalonia till her stern
was head to the breeze, and slowly
kept her hacking seaward to restrain
the fire, if possible, from spreading
aft to his chambers of T. N. T.;
backed her away from port and other
ships, so that, if she did blow up, tie
military loss would be confined to the
Cephalonia alone. And all the while
he was wondering what moment a U
boat would pop up and send a torpedo
mto him, or he would strike a drift¬
ing mine.
